Great.

Unless I am mistaken it could go like this:

We get Poggy for 6 months on loan. He then is a free person. He could come to us, or more likely, go to another PL club of his choice if he has impressed in his 6 months for us?

We've been known to insert 'option to buy' in the loan deals.

as long as no one leaves we are'nt too badly off. there is no way i can see sam just letting the window close without padding the squad a bit more, if zoro does sign i'd have thought simpsons loan would be terminated and another loanee in, egyptian lad or his agent seem convinced they sign tomorrow, we definitely enquired about poggy 4 or 5 days ago so that may pan out...........basically i don't think we'll be the quietest team in the market tomorrow

to sign the russian on loan or permanantly is an awesome prospect, guy seems to be a real clinical finisher in the shearer, klose bracket

I cant believe we would sign Pogrebnyak unless Roque is sold, irrespective of whether its a loan or has a fee. If we pocket 20 million for Roque and replace him by a loanee, then we better not see the last of that money!

I think we have applied for the permit in case Roque leaves tomorrow. I have a bad feeling Roque is a goner, and that City will cave into whatever price we ask for tomorrow.

Zenit St Petersburg scoop here...

The Russians just signed a striker from Hannover.

Either Arshavin's replacement or Poggy's?

I'm sure I read that Zenit were trying to sign Iaquinta from Juve as well... Could be Arshavin AND Pogrebnyak's replacements...

The Russian CAN'T be Roque's replacement...surely.

He has had injury problems, has not played a game for a couple of months and will be miles off the pace.

I doubt if it is a full-time deal on that basis too.

It might suit all parties if it was for the rest of the season only.

I can't see Rovers splashing out big money - or the player wanting to come - when you could still be relegated.

If it's a loan then we might well go for him, we have let Derbyshire and Judge go remember, Diouf can only cover one of those positions at a time, although BFS may not see the need to replace Judge as he was only on the fringes.

Still think we are a bit short in the center though with Dunn's ongoing injury battle as well as Emerton's injury which we still don't have any news on yet.

Still cannot understand why we are not looking at bringing in a central midfielder. Generally, getting concerned again because we have just had a good set of fixtures. Combining that with the new manager 'honeymoon period' we should have picked up more points.

Nicko, I know its not Rovers related but just interested in your big news from the other day! What is the story with Valencia to Man U? You said it was close but heard nothing yet! would that be for the summer??

I get the impression that this deal will come as a result of Utd selling Ronaldo!

Real Madrid bid for Valencia...Man U were told to match it or else...Wigan then said 'no' to real and persuaded Man U to back off on him until the summer.

Wigan have money but were scared they could go down if their best player left.

Think it is all but agreed that he goes to Man U in the summer.

To be honest, I wouldnt be giving any other players away right now. News over Berts injury means we could be without him for a while and we could do with all the experience we have in the squad.

Agree especially with Dunn and Grella's injury records this year and Judge and Derbyshire going.

Mokoena might be a bit of a useless player at times but at least he can do a limited job in desperate times.

Portsmouth have signed Gekas from Bayer Leverkusen on loan till the end of the season, wonder if that affects the Crouch situation, probably not.

I saw that and wondered the same but didn't hear what position he is, not sure who he is to be honest. With Defoe going though they are probably looking to bring in a forward anyway whether or not Crouch stays.
